Why would the Thai coach want to open way for others(chinese player)?? could they not at least give walkover to their fellow country woman if they wanted in the next round? I am lost.

Ratchanok's coach in CO is chinese coach, he knew chinese conspiracy ,he let May try her best in game 1 but hard luck to her to took this game so he said to RI " let Wang won in 2nd game " because her game and WSX win-lost in 2 game only in record and for save energy and power for HK ss.
In this year May met WSX at least 3 time as same as last year May met LXR 4 times but this year she found solution to play with LXR.
Let's see ,I think in HK SS semi final ,she will meet WSX again and I think her coach and May know way and solution to play with WSX.

Ah ok thanks for the insight. Sounds strange to me but I am sure they know what they're doing

if you read the thread, senior888 said, the reason that May gave WSX the second game easy was because the Thai coach has a rule - he doesn't want his players playing each other, but if that were the case why not just put WSX out, then May could concede the WO to Porntip in the next round. Better that way I would think.

Walkover is too obvious and disrepectful to the fans/organisors, only China
dares to do so.
All other countries will not do walkovers unless genuine case.

Ratchanok didn't handle her pressure after she took WC title ,hope she can find her groove again because I love the way she play.

RI is only 18 and she definitely still have not reach stability both mentally and
physically - she has no business winning the WS WC2013 but she did.
Just goes to show what raw talent can do, and with experience and maturity
and good coaching she will become the best over the next 2 years. Having
said that , I do think that the WS is becoming very competitive with minute
difference deciding games.

Time off from badminton is definitely good for her. Her only commitment until next year first superseries is the Chinese league. She has foregone the December SEA game in Myanmar. Leave it to Busanan and Nichaon. Porntip will go to SSF.

May's Chinese League Team (?Shintao) is through to the final 8. In Thailand while she was playing in the league it was announced that she is Thailand's athelete of the year 2013 by the Thai government.

very surprised lost to a teeny prodigy WJC and less experience - Akane.
Oh my.. what happened in G2 when she lead comfortably and suddenly melted towards the end allowing Akane a run of 8 pts from 11-19 and then to force deuce, though she won the game.
Well we don't know what really happen until we see the video, if there's one?

after she took WC title, May seemed could'nt fully focused on her match, and she happen to made too many unforced error~~~ o.0

On a side note, this might be a good thing to 'wake' her up before next big title All England.
I hope she can find her touch again and come back strong!!
Good luck May you can do it!!!

Having seen RI play last WC, I really thought she was the real deal. But her results have been very top ten standard rather than the confident personality top 3 in the world I expected her to be.

AY is a good player. She is not the typical body build of a singles player but she can run and run. We are lucky she is coming up. Hope the two of them stay injury free so we can enjoy many top class matches in the future.

WJC @ 14years old and World Champion by 18, must be difficult to have as much motivation as others at the moment. Needs to set herself targets now to dominate badminton consistently be the best rather than just proving you can be the best, maybe she does not have that personality? Could have another Taufik we will see. Will always be good to watch no matter.

For watching her past few matches against WYH and WSX, I think her problem with the top Chinese WS players is that LXR, WYH and WSX are fast enough to be able to return most of her shots, and ends up she is hitting more errors than winners. She needs to be more patient and waits for opportunities to attack.
